Clang!
Once the chanical elevator latched at the arena, opening up and revealing its passenger, Rex took a deep breath and finally walked out.
As the more well-known star between the both of them, Magma Jones's elevator already ca before his as the spectators were now going crazy, cheering and screaming his na at the top of their voices.
Rex took all this interference calmly as he walked to his corner of the arena.
Shing!
Having brought Berserker out ahead of ti and kept him in his sword scabbard, he simply unsheathed the sword now that he needed it as the familiar presence imdiately gave him the confidence that he needed.
"Shing!"
"Yes, Berserker, he'll be our first stepping stone".
As Rex held his sword, regaining his confidence in the warmth that its hilt brought to him, his already serious eyes pinned his opponent down.
After learning who he was going to fight the previous day, though he knew Magma Jones in school due to his popularity, he still did the needful and did all the research that he needed about his opponent.
Apart from the fact that his mystic ability was the iconic Jade Earth mystic ability of the Magma family that was famous for amplifying the strength of earth skills thrice the normal at its greatest proficiency, the most important thing to know about Jones was that he was a student of the Taijutsu combat departnt.
The Taijutsu departnt of the Obedin Mystic Academy was the departnt with the most students.
As a departnt tailored for mystic warriors who preferred hand-to-hand combat, it had the lowest entry requirents.
Though Jones was not the best student in the Tiajutsu departnt, he was definitely among the top students and paired with his mystic ability, he was a monster to face against any student.
In normal terms, eting an opponent of this caliber in his first battle would have made Rex feel bad that he was cheated but he didn't feel this way this ti.
Previously, throughout all his academy life, Rex only got his chance to shine in the sword departnt of the academy. In every other facet, he was not too exceptional because of his lack of mystic energy.
Now that he finally acquired this energy that he's been coveting all his life, he was ready to rewrite the way that people in this city viewed him.
What better way to rewrite the perception of people about him than to go against one of the favorites of the tournant and erge victoriously?
This train of thought could be considered reckless, but Rex was ready to indulge in recklessness this ti. He had spent too long staying in the dark, he loved the light too, and he wanted to see the light too.
This was why once the bell to start the battle rang, every distraction left his mind as his opponent was the only thing now left in there.
Gong!
With his right leg still in its initial position, Rex shifted his left leg forward a bit and squatted slightly to lower his center of gravity. Once he did this, he felt a ripple traveling through his body like an electric current.
Then, he raised his sword and pointed it at his opponent.
"Co on!"
Magma Jones did not disappoint. He didn't give a damn about whatever his opponent was doing, all that was in his mind was crushing the damn bug with his astonishing strength and he went for it.
"Earth Skill: Finger Bullets!"
Boom!
Magma Jones erupted with speed towards his opponent, as his acceleration imdiately reached a peak that almost eclipsed so wind mystic warriors.
While running, his 2 hands were inclined downwards toward the arena ground. While clenching his outstretched hands like he was clawing at sothing, he suddenly pulled up.
With a loud sound, the battle arena floor tore open as brown solidified earth ca out before hovering in the air before him.
While still running at full speed, his hands moved like lightning as he tapped the air thrice with his fingers before pointing them at his opponent.
Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu!
The solidified earth suddenly fragnted, turning into bullet-sized solidified earth as they shot towards Rex at an extrely fast speed.
This one move already caused the spectators to explode, cheering loudly.
Rex who was on the receiving end of this skill was calm. His eyes narrowed as he tracked down the trajectory of the earth bullets while he was still in his sword stance, and when they ca close enough, his hand vibrated.
With his right hand that held the sword vibrating, Berserker responded in full obedience to Rex's moves as the sword stabbed 3 tis consecutively.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
3 fast stabs and 3 earth bullets were poked since they were coming straight towards the sword as they simply broke down into free soil.
Whoosh!
After the 3 fast stabs, with the sound of the air reverberating like it was being cut apart, Rex drew his hand back, rapidly inclining his sword to a vertical positioning as the rapid maneuver intercepted 4 other earth bullets.
The next mont, in this state of absolute concentration, he instantly channeled his mystic energy as golden sword energy surrounded the sword.
This sword energy evaporated all the other earth bullets, the few others that escaped were deliberately left alone as they missed the target already.
What just happened seed like magic but it was not, the title of the best sword student in the sword departnt was no joke.
From the first 3 fast sword stabs to now, a second had not even passed and the spectators were still trying to react to everything that happened but the mystic warrior, Magma Jones went on his second offensive.
While shooting the earth bullets at his opponent, he was already rapidly closing the distance to his opponent.
And now, he was not too far again as he activated another skill.
"Earth Skill: Boulder of Death!"
Once Jones activated this skill, the battle arena briefly shook as a massive boulder was lifted out of the ground the next mont before being thrown towards Rex at an impossible speed relative to its size.
Rex's eyes were still narrowed as all this happened, and once he saw the incoming boulder, he raised his sword and pointed it forward again.
This ti, the sword was already engulfed by his golden mystic energy.
Rex briefly closed his eyes, and when they opened a nanosecond later, they glowed golden as he finally spoke for the first ti since the battle started.
"Sword Skill: Drilling Stab!"
Whoosh!
Rex finally moved as he thrust his sword forward.
BOOM!
When sword and boulder finally ca into contact, it was like planet earth and rcury collided against each other as a sound like those of exploding dominoes reverberated.
The sword didn't shatter as most spectators expected, instead it was the boulder that exploded as a mighty sword energy with an extrely sharp attribute cut through it like a hot knife cutting through butter.
With the boulder shattering, debris and shrapnel flew everywhere.
A pretty shocked Jones quickly recovered and rushed into the flying debris to take advantage of the ti when his opponent's vision was blinded.
What he didn't know was that doing this was useless, this was because Rex already entered his domain!
Rex's mystic energy presence exploded the next mont!
Boom!
